ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Universal Orlando Resort is increasing its starting hourly pay from $9 to $9.50, with an increase to $10 next year.

Universal announced the increase Wednesday as it begins a push to fill summer and permanent positions. The increase to $9.50 an hour will start in June, while the increase to $10 will start in June 2016.
